Working out first thing on Saturday morning makes me happy. It sets the tone for the weekend and no matter what I do the rest of the day I feel like I’ve accomplished something because I got a good workout in.
After the gym I came home, sat around in my sweaty workout clothes and ate a big bowl of oatmeal. Another one of my favorite things to do on Saturday.
After I showered my Mom and I rushed over to Starbucks to meet my day of wedding coordinator. To give you a little background information …I was a day of wedding coordinator for 4 years during college. I didn’t do much of the planning, but I would coordinator the rehearsal, ceremony and reception.
Being a day of wedding coordinator is a lot of work. It can be a stressful 12 hour day where you’re running around trying to make sure everything is perfect and everyone’s happy (basically impossible). I LOVE creating schedules and timelines and didn’t think I would want to hire a coordinator until I realized I don’t want any of my family or friends doing the job. I know if I don’t have someone who knows what they’re doing I wouldn’t be able to let go of the control. I would end of coordinating and worrying about everything when in reality I’m not going to be available to do that on the day of my wedding.
I was nervous going into the meeting because I hate giving up control, but I instantly clicked with Tami from Creatively Yours Wedding Planning. She was extremely professional, seemed very enthusiastic and didn’t seem to be burnt out. The wedding industry is an interesting beast and you can easily get burnt out after doing it for many years. I’m really looking forward to working with Tami and letting her take care of all the details so I can just relax and enjoy the day.
After our meeting my Mom and I went shopping to find something to wear to my cousins wedding next weekend. She found a great outfit at Coldwater Creek and I found this dress at Express.
I also found this gorgeous turquise purse at a resale shop for $12. I like that it will give the outfit some color.
I usually hate shopping so this trip was a success. My Mom and I spent the rest of the night watching the Devil Wears Prada and cuddling with our pup. It was a great Saturday with Mom.

I bet having a coordinator would definitely take the stress out of the big day- especially if you have a large wedding party.
Your dress from express is pretty. I need to go to express soon- havent been in one in years and its one of my favorite stores. (keep spending money on running stuff instead of “real clothes”)
The purse will go nicely with the dress!
